Don’t be so cruel as to take yourself away from me,
That I want to spend the rest of my life with you
“What the f**k do you think this is?” the sudden splash of papers on the desk bought Vansh out of his phone call with the other person.
“What??” He mouthed as she glared at him.
She folded her arms in front of her chest, how dare he do this?
“Veronica, I have some urgent matter at hand, (pause) yeah, I’ll call you later” He cut the call absently finished the call, and turned to look at her fuming face.
If she was angry before, now with the hint of jealousy, she was fuming.
“What happened Jaan?” he left the authority of his chair and walked over to her intending to hold her cheek and ask her what was wrong however she moved back. Vansh could sense the anger in her eyes.
“How dare you, Vansh Raghuvanshi?” She asked with hurt laced in her voice, Vansh could not understand what was happening.
“What did I even do?” He asked with the same seriousness, seeing her hurt was the last thing he ever wanted. Hurt that she so badly was trying to mask.
“Wow! Just wow!” her sarcastic side made Vansh roll his eyes.
“Jaan,” His voice was stern.
“Adya, Adya Mishra,” She corrected him as he stood at a little distance from her, Pocketing his hands.
“What is my fault now?” He asked, he had not gotten a wink of sleep after her ‘no’ to him. Keeping his eyes open was a little difficult for him, for him he just wanted to lay in her embrace and sleep while she caressed his hair like She always did.
“Letting the boobies’ breath?” She quoted her fingers in the air.
“Seriously?” She asked throwing the papers in his face. Her anger was beyond professional ethics.
Oh, this!
Now he realized the course of her anger.
“How dare you bring our past into this?” She asked holding his collar as his hands sneaked around her waist. Pulling her closer.
“At least now you are admitting we had a past,” His words gave off how guilty he was, note the sarcasm. His hold was tight, she just could not escape him as he stared at her.
“How dare you keep this as the tagline of the brand,” She asked, her face wholly red in embarrassment and blush. She wanted to beat herself for saying these words to him in the past.
“My company, my choice,” He was stroking his ego and hurting hers as she narrowed her eyes at him.
“My words, my past,” Her anger was still evident on her face. This time she made no effort to hide it.
“Our,” He corrected her. His hands were still on her waist.
“Our past,” He countered his words.
“Exactly, you made it all about yourself in the past and now as well, who gave you the right to use my words as your tagline,” She asked finally managing to remove his arms from her waist.
Vansh sighed, “Those memories are mine as much as they are yours, Jaan,” He said in a firm tone, she knew he would not change his decision, the man was stubborn as f**k.
Still the same, stubborn brat!
“You are stealing it,” She said when she could not find anything else against him.
“Oh really? I never denied your right to your words, one of the best memories, you know” His eyebrows raised at her words. However, his calm composer scared Adya.
“Go on then sue me for this, I will accept in front of the law the words are yours,” he continued.
“For that, you will claim yourself as mine, in front of the world,” His words made her gulp, the way he was staring into her eyes was intimidating.
Adya knew she could not do that, doing that would mean making things known to everyone including Rohan Raghuvanshi and Myra Raghuvanshi. Hell, she did not even know them before as the family of her ex-boyfriend, the irony was she was too close to them.
“You think, doing all this will make me take you back?” She asked.
“I did not intend with this tagline but Yeah, that’s what I am ultimately after,” He replied, not hiding anything from her.
Adya could not believe his words, “You’re doing it for your selfish s*x reasons, right?” She was not sure about that but she said whatever came to her mouth.
Tsk, tsk.
“Are you horny?” He replied to her question with a question.
“What?” Her face turned into a frown.
“If you are, we need to settle a few things,” He said making Adya throw him an annoyed look.
“Shut up with your stupid words,” She said.
“Then control the hormones, jaan,” he said, sounding genuinely concerned for her.
“I have a lot of men to do that, your services are not needed,” Now that made him angry, He yanked her body towards him before holding her hand behind her waist.
Adya hissed as they both shared a look.
“Men? I see,” his eyes did notice the gulp of her throat, and he smiled before loosening his grip on her hand and creating the necessary distance between them.
“Take it back,” She demanded. Her eyes were firm.
“Okay,” his answer surprised her, “But—“I knew it.
“But?” Adya asked, her posture turned defensive.
“Take me back,” He demanded as Adya chuckled.
“So this was your plan, wasn’t it?” She asked when he did not say anything but just pocketed his hands Adya looked away.
“Now I realize, I did the right thing,” She said as she moved towards the door.
Vansh Raghuvanshi did not deserve a second chance.
